IV. 2004 A new species of Pseudogonia Brauer & Bergenstamm from Sardinia, and a key to the West Palaearctic species (Diptera: Tachinidae) PIERFILIPPO CERRETTI Abstract A new species of Pseudogonia (P. metallaria n. sp.) from south-west Sardinia (Italy) is de- scribed and illustrated. It is related to P. parisiaca (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1851) and P. valens (Richter, 1974). Its position in the genus is discussed. A revised key to West Palaearctic Pseu- dogonia is presented. Keywords: Tachinidae, taxonomy, Pseudogonia, new species, Sardinia, Italy, identification key. Zusammenfassung Eine neue Art von Pseudogonia (P. metallaria n. sp) aus Süd-West-Sardinien (Italien) wird beschrieben und illustriert. Sie ist verwandt mit P. parisiaca (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1851) und P. valens (Richter, 1974). Ihre Stellung innerhalb der Gattung wird diskutiert. Ein überarbeiteter Bestimmungsschlüssel für die westpäläarktischen Pseudogonia wird vorgestellt.

A, Nr. 659 WOOD 1987) which is characterised by completely incubated microtype eggs that hatch, only after having been swallowed, inside the host’s mesenteron (WOOD 1987). Up until now, six species of the genus Pseudogonia were known: P. fasciata (Wiedemann, 1819), an Afrotropical species that reaches also the Canary Islands (CROSSKEY 1980; HERTING 1984) and Spain (TSCHORSNIG et al. 1997); P. madas- cariensis Villeneuve, 1915 from Madagascar (CROSSKEY 1980); P. parisiaca (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1851), a Palaearctic species, widespread in central-southern Europe (reaching southwards to Corsica and Sicily), Central Asia and southern Siberia (HERTING 1984); P. rufifrons (Wiedemann, 1830), a subcosmopolitan species found in the Afrotropical, Palaearctic, Oriental and Australian regions (CROSSKEY 1973, 1976, 1980; HERTING 1984; CHAO 1999); P. suspecta Villeneuve, 1915 from Madagascar (?) (CROSSKEY 1980); P. valens (Richter, 1974), from Mongolia and Chi- ta (southern Siberia) (RICHTER 1974, 1980; HERTING 1984). In the present paper a new species of Pseudogonia from south-west Sardinia is described. Data on the biology are available only for P. parisiaca, an oligophagous parasite of Arctiidae (Lepidoptera), and for P. rufifrons, also oligophagous, but of Noctuidae (Lepidoptera) (cf. HERTING 1960; CROSSKEY 1976; TSCHORSNIG & HERTING 1994).

I would like to thank all those that have enabled me to write this work, in particular my friends and colleagues FRANCO MASON, GIANLUCA NARDI, MARA TISATO and DANIEL WHITMORE (Verona) for their help during field work and their precious advice during the writing of the text; DANIEL WHITMORE for the improvement of the English; HANS-PETER TSCHORSNIG (Stuttgart), my patient teacher in tachinidology, for the information supplied and the critical revision of the manuscript; BERNHARD MERZ (Genève) for the critical revision of the manuscript; MAURIZIO ZILLICH and FRANCO MASON (Verona) for making the research work in Sardinia possible; GIAMPIETRO MAZZONI (Verona) for the etymology of metallaria; lastly, BRUNO PETRICCIONE (Roma), Italian coordinator of the CONECOFOR programme. 2 Methods The dissection of the male terminalia was done following the method described in detail by O’HARA (2002). The dissected male terminalia are preserved in glycerol in a small plastic tube and pinned together with the specimen. The illustrations were done using a Leica DMLS op- tic microscope (terminalia) and a Leica MZ 7.5 stereoscopic microscope (head). The pho- tographs of the abdomen and the measurements were done using Leica IM 1000. Terminology of the external morphology (other than male terminalia) follows MERZ & HAENNI (2000), except for antenna that follows STUCKENBERG (1999), that of male terminalia follows SINCLAIR (2000). Measurements and ratios of head follow TSCHORSNIG & RICHTER (1998).

Material Holotype (: Italy, Sardinia, Cagliari prov., Iglesiente, Domusnovas, Valle d’Oridda, ca. 300 m a. s. l. (N 39.41312, E 8.61295), 4.IX.2003, P. CERRETTI, M. TISATO, D. WHITMORE leg. [MZUR]. Paratypes: 1&, ditto 4.IX.2003 [SMNS]; 1 (, ditto 5.IX.2003 [CNBF]; 2 && , ditto 5.IX.2003 [CNC, PC]. All the specimens were swept in the morning from flowers of Euphorbia pithyusa cupanii (Guss.) A. R. Sm. (Euphorbiaceae). Etymology From the Latin metallaria, meaning miner, in reference to the landscape in which the spec- imens were caught. The area is indeed deeply transformed by mining activities that, in the Iglesiente region, are of ancient origin, so much so that the word metalla (= mine), from which the adjective metallaria derives, was used by the ancient Romans in regard to the Sardinian mines.

El-Hawagry Abstract Tachinid flies are an important group of parasitoids in their larval stage, and all their hosts are of the Arthropoda, almost exclusively other insects, including important insect pests in agriculture and forestry. All known Egyptian taxa of the family Tachinidae are systematically catalogued. Synonymies, type localities, type depositories, world distributions by biogeographic realm(s) and country, Egyptian localities, and dates of collection are provided. A total of 72 tachinid species belonging to 42 genera, 15 tribes, and 4 subfamilies has been treated.

  • Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1). We combined this dataset with the environment1,2, it scales with features of morphology and physi- backbone hexapod phylogenies25,26 that we enriched to include taxa ology3, and larger animals often have higher fitness4.

  • Phylogeny of the Tachinidae (Diptera) As Inferred from Morphological Evidence
    Systematic Entomology (2014), 39, 335–353 Signal through the noise? Phylogeny of the Tachinidae (Diptera) as inferred from morphological evidence PIERFILIPPO CERRETTI1,2, JAMES E. O’HARA3, D.

STIREMAN III6 1Department of Biology and Biotechnology ‘Charles Darwin’, University of Rome ‘Sapienza’, Rome, Italy, 2Centro Nazionale Biodiversita` Forestale – Corpo Forestale dello Stato, Verona, Italy, 3Canadian National Collection of Insects, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Ottawa, Canada, 4Kyushu University Museum, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan, 5DAFNAE-Entomology, University of Padova, Padova, Italy and 6Department of Biological Sciences, Wright State University, Dayton, OH, U.S.A. Abstract. The oestroid family Tachinidae represents one of the most diverse lineages of insect parasitoids. Despite their broad distribution, diversity and important role as biological control agents, the phylogeny of this family remains poorly known. Here, we review the history of tachinid systematics and present the first quantitative phylogenetic analysis of the family based on morphological data. Cladistic analyses were conducted using 135 morphological characters from 492 species belonging to 180 tachinid genera, including the four currently recognized subfamilies (Dexiinae, Exoristinae, Phasiinae, Tachininae) and all major tribes. We used characters of eggs, first-instar larvae and adults of both sexes. We examined the effects of implied weighting by reanalysing the data with varying concavity factors. Our analysis generally supports the subfamily groupings Dexiinae + Phasiinae and Tachininae + Exoristinae, with only the Exoristinae and the Phasiinae reconstructed as monophyletic assemblages under a wide range of weighting schemes. Under these conditions, the Dexiinae, which were previously considered a well-established monophyletic assemblage, are reconstructed as being paraphyletic with respect to the Phasiinae.

  • Native Larval Parasitoids of Fall Armyworm Spodoptera Frugiperda
    Egypt. J. Plant Prot. Res. Inst. (2021), 4 (1): 84 -96 Egyptian Journal of Plant Protection Research Institute www.ejppri.eg.net Native larval parasitoids of fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), the recent invasive pest on maize in Egypt and its some biological aspects Ahmed, Abd Elmageed; Ayman, M. Ebrahim and Hosam, M.K.H. El-Gepaly Plant Protection Research Institute, Agricultural Research Center, Dokki, Giza, Egypt. ARTICLE INFO Abstract: Article History The fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Received: 13 / 1 /2021 Smith ) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is the recent invasive pest Accepted: 2 / 3 /2021 species, it spreads successfully across Kom-Ombo city of Aswan Governorate, Upper Egypt in May 2019. It disrupts agriculture, Keywords particularly smallholder grain production such as maize Fall armyworm, cultivation. This study was undertaken to document two Spodoptera frugiperda parasitoids, Exorista sorbillans (Wiedemann) and Pseudogonia parasitoid, rufifrons (Wiedemann) (Diptera; Tachinidae) and one parasitoid Exorista sorbillans species Microplitis sp. (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), were Pseudogonia rufifrons, detected from infected FAW larvae which, were collected from Microplitis sp. and maize fields during August, September, and October. The highest biological aspects. parasitism rate was recorded on 1st October in two locations at Aswan by 30.77%. Moreover, some biological aspects of FAW were recorded, which an average of 156.13 ±16.57 eggs/mass were emerged after an average of 3.47 days, with hatchability of 89.18%. Larval and pupal average duration were 20.93 and 12.60 days, respectively, pre-ovipostion, oviposition and post- oviposition were 11, 5.13 and 4.93 days respectively.

  • A Systematic Revision of the Genus Gonia Meigen (Diptera: Tachinidae
    Animal Cells and Systems Vol. 14, No. 3, September 2010, 175Á195 A systematic revision of the genus Gonia Meigen (Diptera: Tachinidae) in Korea Hyun-Suk Lee and Ho-Yeon Han* Division of Biological Science and Technology, Yonsei University, Wonju-si, Gangwon-do 220-710, Korea (Received 31 March 2010; received in revised form 8 June 2010; accepted 8 June 2010) The genus Gonia (Diptera: Tachinidae) is revised for the Korean species. We recognize four previously known species (G. chinensis, G. divisa, G. foersteri, and G. klapperichi), three newly recorded species in Korea (G. distinguenda, G. olgae, and G. ussuriensis) and a species new to science (G. nigricoma Lee and Han, sp. nov.). We here provide a key, descriptions, photographs and illustrations. We also inferred the phylogenetic relationships of the representative Palaearctic species using cladistic method.

The Gonia spe- Korean species using cladistic method. cies are morphologically homogenous, and, thus, easy to recognize as a genus but difficult to differentiate to individual species (Mesnil 1956). Materials and methods The genus Gonia is currently placed in the tribe Terminology and morphological interpretations follow Goniini, because it shares the following characteristics the glossaryof Merz and Haenni (2000), but those of male with other members of the tribe (Crosskey 1976): (1) terminalia follow Sinclair (2000).
